Mom’s Beef and Potato Pie

This recipe is certainly an old family recipe which Betty makes for her family each year, when the weather gets cooler. Betty says the best way to her hubby’s heart is through his tummy, and her Beef and Potato Pie always makes him happy!

It’s a very easy recipe, and here, Betty uses hash browns in the pie, as well as some other great ingredients. It’s a very filling dish, however, if you have really hungry mouths to feed, you can also serve with some mashed potatoes and a big jug of gravy too! So please enjoy!
